We develop a facile method to fabricate yolk/shell and multi-yolk/shell ZIF-8/alginate hybrid microcapsules by first forming yolk/shell W/O ZIF-8 Pickering emulsions containing sodium alginate in water, followed by sodification of alginate to form the hybrid shell. Polymerization induced phase separation of a polyethylene glycol aqueous and acrylamide aqueous solution is used to form the yolk, and droplet coalescence is used to form multi-yolks. We examine the preparation conditions to obtain a stable ZIF-8 W/O Pickering emulsion. Further, these ZIF-8 Pickering emulsions can be converted to ZIF-8/alginate hybrid microcapsules with both hollow and yolk/shell structures by adding small amount of sodium alginate in the PEG solution, based on our finding that ZIF-8 can gelate sodium alginate. The ZIF-8/alginate hybrid microcapsules exhibit controlled release ability for Rhodamine B, with the yolk/shell one showing a lower dye release percentage. Furthermore, the release rate can be accelerated in an acid condition, resulting from the dissolution of ZIF-8.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes have significant potential for use in efficient gas separation. However, fabricating polymer substrate-supported ultra-thin MOF membranes with no defects remains a challenge. Herein, we proposed an in situ interface self-repair strategy for fabricating ultra-thin and defect-free ZIF-67 membranes for the first time. This was realized by preparing a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-Co 2+ interfacial layer containing a Co 2+ ion layer and a PVA-Co 2+ complex layer. The PVA-Co 2+ interfacial layer released Co 2+ ions and acted as a metal source to form ZIF-67 membranes by reducing the coordination rate of Co 2+ ions with 2-methylimidazole. The embedded Co 2+ ions functioned as anchor sites for the nucleation of ZIF-67 membrane assisted by the interface-enhanced deprotonation of 2-methylimidazole. Especially, the slow release of Co 2+ ions from the PVA-Co 2+ interfacial layer facilitated self-repair of defects to form a continuous and dense MOF layer. ZIF-67 membranes, 80-280 nm thick, were successfully synthesized and demonstrated unprecedented CO 2 permeance and good CO 2 /N 2 selectivity. This work provides a promising strategy for the fabrication of ultra-thin and defect-free MOF membranes on polymeric support layers for use in practical applications.

Efficient removal of antibiotics from aqueous solution is of fundamental importance due to the increasingly severe antibiotic-related pollution. Herein, a high-performance Fe-ZIF-8-500 adsorbent was synthesized by Fe-doping strategy and subsequent activation with high-temperature. In order to evaluate the feasibility of Fe-ZIF-8-500 as an adsorbent for tetracycline (TC) removal, the adsorption properties of Fe-ZIF-8-500 were systematically explored. The results showed that the Fe-ZIF-8-500 exhibited ultrahigh adsorption capacity for TC with a record-high value of 867 mg g -1 . Additionally, the adsorption kinetics and isotherms for TC onto the Fe-ZIF-8-500 can be well-fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the Freundlich model, respectively. The ultrahigh adsorption capacity of Fe-ZIF-8-500 can be explained by the synergistic effect of multi-affinities, i.e., surface complexation, electrostatic attraction, π-π interaction and hydrogen bonding. After being used for four cycles the adsorption capacity of Fe-ZIF-8-500 remains a high level, demonstrating its outstanding reusability. The ultrahigh adsorption capacity, excellent reusability, satisfactory water stability and easy-preparation nature of Fe-ZIF-8-500 highlight its bright prospect for removing tetracycline pollutant from wastewater.

Stimuli-responsive prodrug-based nanoplatform with synergistic antitumor activity is of central importance to the development of promising nanomedicines for cancer therapy. Here, we describe a polydopamine-drug conjugate nanocomposite (ZP-PDA-DOX) with targeted cancer photothermal-chemotherapy (PTT-CT), which constructed by a gradual copolymerization of dopamine (DA) and pH-sensitive dopamine-derived prodrug (DA-DOX) into the porous channels of zeolite imidazolate frameworks-8 (ZIF-8), followed by PEGylation with amino-terminated folic acid-polyethylene glycol (NH 2 -PEG-FA) to acquire the high biocompatibility, specificity, and excellent tumor-targeting property. The incorporation of polydopamine strengthened the stability and dispersion of ZIF-8, and also conferred photothermal conversion effect. In the tumor acidic microenvironment, the acid-labile hydrazone linker of DA-DOX and ZIF-8 promptly degraded to release activated DOX. Moreover, the generated hyperthermia due to the high photothermal conversion efficiency of PDA component could accelerate drug release, and simultaneously thermally ablate tumor tissue to maximize the DOX-induced CT, which could also assist PTT to eradicate tumor cells. This study provides a promising strategy for targeted cancer PTT-CT with synergistic anti-tumor effect.

In this study, dodecylamine-modified zeolitic imidazolate framework-90 (DLA-ZIF-90) particles with enhanced surface hydrophobicity are synthesized and incorporated into the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix to fabricate novel PDMS/DLA-ZIF-90 mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for ethanol recovery via pervaporation. The successful modification of ZIF-90 particles is investigated via various characterization techniques. The morphology and physicochemical properties of the PDMS/DLA-ZIF-90 MMMs are studied and characterized. Compared to the PDMS MMM with unmodified ZIF-90, PDMS/DLA-ZIF-90 MMM exhibits enhanced morphology homogeneity and separation performance, contributed by the flexible inner channels of ZIF-90-DLA particles with enhanced adsorption selectivity, as well as the improved affinity between ZIF-90-DLA particles and PDMS matrix. The MMM with 2.5 wt% DLA-ZIF-90 loading shows the best performance with the optimal flux of 99.5 g m −2 h −1 and corresponding separation factor of 15.1 at 60 °C. The effect of operation temperature is also studied. The performance benchmarking shows that PDMS/DLA-ZIF-90 MMM exhibits superior pervaporation performance to most other PDMS-based membranes, and may therefore shed valuable insights to the development of high-performance ZIF-based MMMs for organic recovery.

Nickel-based nanoparticles have been widely used in detection of glucose due to its multiple oxidation states and high stability in alkaline environment. In this work, amorphous nickel phosphate was supported by Co-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) through ion exchange to prepare Ni 3 (PO 4 ) 2 @ZIF-67 composites as the electrode material . In comparison to glassy carbon electrode (GCE), Ni 3 (PO 4 ) 2 /GCE and ZIF-67/GCE, the Ni 3 (PO 4 ) 2 @ZIF-67/GCE showed significantly enhanced performances in electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose. The great improvement on glucose oxidation current could be ascribed to the unique structure of Ni 3 (PO 4 ) 2 @ZIF-67, the mutual promotion between Ni(III)/Ni(II) and Co(IV)/Co(III) interfacial redox reactions and increased surface areas. Under optimum conditions, as-prepared Ni 3 (PO 4 ) 2 @ZIF-67/GCE showed an ultra-high sensitivity of 2783 μA mM −1 cm −2 with a wide linear ranged from 1.0 μM to 4.0 mM, and a low limit detection of 0.7 μM at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Moreover, Ni 3 (PO 4 ) 2 @ZIF-67/GCE were successfully applied to detect glucose of human serum with good recoveries (92–109%), which indicated that Ni 3 (PO 4 ) 2 @ZIF-67 can found application in the clinical detection.

Nanocrystals of ZIF-8 have been successfully prepared in the presence of non-ionic triblock copolymers P123 and F127 under microwave irradiation. Noticeably, the reaction time could be significantly reduced down to 1 min. The obtained ZIF-8 nanocrystals had sizes of sub-104 nm and exhibited a high BET surface area of 1599 m2 g−1. This approach is expected to be an efficient and environmentally friendly method for the preparation of ZIF-8.

The Co3O4electrode is a very promising material owing to its ultrahigh capacitance. Nevertheless, the electrochemical performance of Co3O4-based supercapacitors is practically confined by the limited active sites and poor conductivity of Co3O4. Herein, we provide a facile synthetic strategy of tightly anchoring Co3O4nanosheets to a carbon fiber conductive cloth (Co3O4@C) using the zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) sacrificial template via in situ impregnation and the pyrolysis method. Benefiting from the enhancement of conductivity and the increase in active sites, the binder-free porous Co3O4@C supercapacitor electrodes possess typical pseudocapacitance characteristics, with an acceptable specific capacitance of ~251 F/g at 1 A/g and long-term cycling stability (90% after cycling 5000 times at 3 A/g). Moreover, the asymmetric and flexible supercapacitor composed of Co3O4@C and activated carbon is further assembled, and it can drive the red LED for 6 min.Keywords:ZIF-67;Co3O4nanosheet;in situ growth;Co3O4@C;supercapacitor

Binary transition metal oxides exhibit improved properties including good redox potentials and electrical conductivities compared with single metal oxides as electrode materials in energy storage. Herein, ZIF-67 is prepared by a one-step method using Co2+ as the central metal ion, 2-methylimidazole as the organic ligand, and methanol as an organic solvent at room temperature. Hollow NiCo2O4 and sheet-like Co3O4/NiCo2O4 derived from bimetallic imidazolate framework precursors were synthesized by adding cobalt and nickel ions in appropriate proportions. A hollow and porous structure is achieved for the reaction between a nickel salt and ZIF-67, and this unique nanostructure provides a high active surface area, which is beneficial to the electrochemical properties. Several samples are prepared and used as electrode materials for electrochemical tests in 6 M KOH. As a result, the Co3O4/NiCo2O4 electrode with a sheet nanostructure showed a high specific capacitance of 846 F g−1 at a current density of 0.5 A g−1. This Co3O4/NiCo2O4 electrode material is promising for future studies on high-performance supercapacitors to solve emerging energy-related problems.

In this study, we constructed zinc based metal–organic framework functionalized by L-histidine (His@ZiF-8). The His@ZiF-8 had high porosity, large surface area, abundant carboxyl and amino group, which has been found to greatly enhance the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) of tetracycline (TC). After the His@ZiF-8 enrichment with TC, the TC exhibited strong fluorescence emission peak at 565 nm based on AIE. Under the optimal conditions, the fluorescence intensity of TC exhibited a good linear relationship with TC concentration within 0.1–80 μM with a low limit of detection of 28.6 nM. Antibiotic analogs such as neomycin, chloramphenico, ampicillin, kanamycin, and erythromycin have no obvious interference. In addition, the developed method was successfully used to the detection of TC in milk, river water, and honey.

The Gum Ghatti (GG)/Konjac Glucomannan (KGM)/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) composite aerogels (GKZ) were synthesized by the sol-gel method and the vacuum freeze-drying method for effective removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) from contaminated water. The results showed that the addition of different concentrations (0, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 wt%) of GG could promote homogeneity but weakened the molecular interaction of the aerogel system without water. Remarkably, the ZIF-8 maintained the crystal structure, as well as its dispersion on the surface of aerogel, was significantly improved. Additionally, it was also found that the incorporation of moderate GG was favored regarding CIP adsorption, and GKZ with 0.6 % GG (GKZ0.6) exhibited the highest adsorption capability for CIP around 1035.4 mg/g. Besides, the effects of various ions, ionic strength , and pH on CIP adsorption were also investigated, which provided the reference for guiding the utilization of GKZ0.6. Furthermore, at fewer cycles, the adsorption efficiency of GKZ0.6 on CIP showed less loss. These features revealed that the GKZ composite aerogels might be a promising adsorbent for CIP removal from water.

MXenes have attracted increasing research enthusiasm owing to their unique physical and chemical properties. Although MXenes exhibit exciting potential in cations adsorption due to their unique surface groups, the adsorption capacity is limited by the low specific surface area and undeveloped porosity. Our work aims at enhancing the adsorption performance of a well-known MXene, Ti 3 C 2 T x , for methylene blue (MB) by decorating tiny ZIF-8 nanoparticles in the interlayer. After the incorporation of ZIF-8, suitable interspace in the layers resulting from the distribution of tiny ZIF-8 appears. When employing in MB, the adsorption capacity of composites can reach up to 107 mg·g −1 while both ZIF-8 (3 mg·g −1 ) and Ti 3 C 2 T x (9 mg·g −1 ) show nearly no adsorption capacity. The adsorption mechanism was explored, and the good adsorption capacity is caused by the synergistic effect of ZIF-8 and Ti 3 C 2 T x , for neither of them is of suitable interspace or surface groups for MB adsorption. Our work might pave the way for constructing functional materials based on the introduction of nanoparticles into layered materials for various adsorption applications.
